So guys I have been of the job for a few days as the infection in my chest worsened, originally diagnosed as Pleurisy, another call to the doctors whom you can’t visit anyway, gave me a change of antibiotics treating for Pleurisy / Pneumonia, hospital stay is out the question due to my poor lungs (Farmers Lung) and my darling wife took me away from the loch for a convalescing visit to her sisters, I must admit to sleeping more or less none stop, the huge rib eye steak was perfect, so home again as I really don’t like being away from home the loch is my life as is the clients that come here, and I feel so much better a bit weak but, better, Gavin my Son who we are giving the Loch too, took over and he and Laura did a sterling job, the weed is pretty much all gone now with only a patches that I had left intentionally, rising fish mostly all day, the feeding in the water is astronomical with shrimp being most prevalent plus pee muscle and snails, billions of snails, likewise catches are greatly improved, sport fishing at its best so caches Rod Thaw, 14 all returned using dry flies and muddlers, George Duff 4 C&R shipman’s buzzers & sedge, Brian Kemp 4, 2 returned, Muddlers and PTN, Neil Craigie having a great day with an orange blob, Now Colin Dow after an absence had 4 fish and Donald Robertson getting 2 on yellow hoppers, A Cuthbert after practising on loch Leven now using buzzers had 2 returned, Ali Graham 2 for 4lbs Diawl Bachs, and Keith Duncan from the bank 5 returned Kate McLaren, Robbie Fae Cupar a blue and a Rainbow for 4 ¼ lbs, D Redgrave 2 for 4lbs Diawl Bach, A Buzzard was brought to the house a young fledgling utterly exhausted and the RSPB phoned and they took it away hopefully to feed it up then release, Lots of rain in the last four days water is clear again and fish are active all good.
